ABBOTTSTOWN, PA 7/7/2018 – Troy Wagaman, Jr. took advantage of a penalty to race-leader Chase Dietz with five laps to go to inherit the lead and then held off Dietz the remaining laps to pick up the win in the special 25-lap $1,500-to-win K1 RaceGear 358 Sprint Summer Series feature at Lincoln Speedway Saturday night. The win, Wagaman’s second career Lincoln win, win was over a year in the making since his inaugural win back on August 13th, 2016.

CJ Tracy then capped off his fourth-place run in the first feature of the night by leading every lap at the end of the night in the June 23rd make-up Fallen Firefighters Night in Memory of Brandon Little feature. Like Wagaman, Tracy’s win was the second of his career, backing up his first career win from May 28th, 2016.

1ST FEATURE – K1 RaceGear 358 Sprint Summer Series Feature

Wagaman, who has been searching for his second career 358 sprint win for over a year, started eighth in the featured event of the night yet watched outside front row starter CJ Tracy grab the lead with tenth-starting Chase Dietz getting by for second at the outset of the 25-lap feature.

Dietz drove around Tracy on the fourth lap to take over the top spot with Wagaman still trailing in third place.

Wagaman got by Tracy on the 11th lap to take over the runner-up spot as race-leading Dietz continued to set the pace through lapped traffic during the hectic non-stop action.

Brett Shearer slowed the action on the 20th lap with the event’s only caution by spinning in the third and fourth turns.

It was at that point officials penalized race-leading Dietz two positions for jumping on the original start of the feature. This put

Dietz in third, handing the lead over to Wagaman and second place to Tracy.

Wagaman took full advantage of Dietz’s misfortune by leading the final five laps to pick up his second career 358 sprint win and take home the K1 RaceGear 358 Sprint Summer Series Feature $1,500 winner’s check.

Dietz tried in vain to get the lead back the final laps. Dietz got by Tracy on that final restart to move into second, but came up 1.03-seconds short of race-winner Wagaman at the checkered.

Tyler Ross culminated a good run from his 12th starting spot to finish third, Tracy fourth, and 11th-starting Doug Hammaker fifth.

Tracy started on the pole of the June 23rd make-up Fallen Firefighters Night feature and led every lap to pick up the win in the 20-lap 358 Sprint feature in Memory of Brandon Little.

Outside front row starter Dalton Dietrich trailed Tracy the entire distance and settled for second, with third-starting Matt Findley doing the same by running third throughout and finished third. Fifth-starting Tyler Ross advanced one spot to finish fourth, with fourth-starting Ashley Cappetta losing that spot to Ross and settled for fifth.

Second-starting Jason Geeseman grabbed the lead from polesitter Aaron Beard at the outset of the 20-lap Street Stock feature and led the entire way, holding off a fast-closing by a mere .60-seconds for the win.

Third-starting Cory Sites raced in the top-three the entire distance and settled for third, with Will Walls fourth, and 11th-starting Randy Zechman fifth.

Heats for the 19 Xcel Modifieds on hand were won by Hitzler and Borrows.

Next Saturday night, July 14th, it will be JOHN GLEIM JR. EXCAVATING NIGHT featuring the 410 Sprinters in a regularly scheduled feature and a make-up feature from the rain-postponed June 23rd Fallen Firefighters Night event. In addition, the 358 Sprinters will be on hand competing in a “Shootout” series event. The Central PA Sportsman will round out the three division show. Competition Pit gates will open at 5 PM, Spectator Pit Admission & General Admission gates will open at 5:30 PM. Hot laps will get underway at 7 PM, with heats getting underway at 7:30 PM.
